Sacrifice| Straw Hat Crew Part 1
How long has it been since you’ve been in this cell. A few days, Weeks? Months? You didn’t know. Everyday felt so tiring and slow and long.
Your head hurt to much, your body hurt to much everything seemed to hurt to much , slowly your senses managed its way back into you, but it even hurt to just think. You winced at yourself as a cough came from your throat.
Even though your eyes weren’t open, you were sure your body was filled with scratches and dried blood and even bruises. You slowly opened your eyes as you painfully looked down.
The bruises were everywhere, through the small crack of moonlight she saw the black and purple bruising, your head against the hard concrete as the chackles around your wrist that made it turn red and swollen, You wanted nothing more than to cry, but it would hurt.
You closed your eyes again just wanting to sleep. This time you don’t even open it, not even when you heard shuffling from outside alongside with loud voices and screams of pain as someone was crying.
You didn’t open it not because you were scared to see what will happen, but because it will hurt to much to just open them.
“Oi, Brat!” You slowly opened your eyes, You sat up and looked behind you.
“My, My Darling! It’s already going to be sundown, were you that tired?.” You didn’t replay as you looked at him, Staring at him with disgust as he gave you a smile that you just wanted to wipe off him.
“Not much in a talking mood? That’s ok.” He said grabbing a stool near him as he sat down on it, even from where you were sitting you could smell the reek of alcohol from him.
He scratched at his unshaven beard and tilted his head to look st you.
“You know, it’s been a whole month since you’ve been here, and we haven’t even seen sight of your friends.” He said as he then put his chin on his right hand.
“Do you think… they’ve forgotten about you?” He asked. You looked down not replaying as you heard him chuckle.
“Maybe they did! Maybe they’re glad that your gone! I mean.. isn’t it strange? They haven’t even came to save you.” He hopped off his chair as he bent down to your level.
“Were you really apart of their crew?” You glared at him for what he said.
“Woah! No need to look at me like!” He said laughing at the end.
“A whole month.” He repeated.
“How much longer do you think you’ll last? I gotta admit some of my patients don’t even last a whole week. Maybe my torturing methods are getting old.”
“You know what I think is the worst?…Hm? Fine I’ll tell you.”
“Solitation.” He said his voice going serious.
“How long…” He looked out through the small window in the right side of him.
“Do you think it will take you to break if I left you in this dark, cold cell to die.” You felt your chest tightened at his words, as you tried to focus on your breathing which began to become ragged.
“Humans need company…Even though they don’t show it at times, they crave for it, they crave for love and warmth and affection, but they crave for someone else’s presence even more, they go crazy for it, but maybe you hate me so much you’d prefer to be alone,hm?” He said looking at you, You didn’t meet his eye as you stared straight in front of you trying to distract yourself from his words.
“I’d always thought that’s how death would be like….A cold dark cell, unable to move or do anything. Nothing but the sound of your own thoughts until you go a little crazy. Just stuck in your conscious.” He smiled at the end.
“Death isn’t like that at all…” You croaked out.
“Let’s make a bet on that….” He said standing up.
“I’ll show you what the the legendary Blood Beard can do to break you…”
“I gotta say I’m suprised you’re not dead yet.”
“I guess you can handle pain very well…”
“But I’m getting bored of waiting…I’m a very patient person Y/N, to patient actually, To the point where I’m done!” He threw a table from besides him as it came in contact with the wall, a loud snap coming from it.
“We’ve discussed this before, but I’ll tell you again… I could set you free, You could get out of this dark place….if you tell me everything about the straw hats especially, Straw Hat Luffy.” You didn’t move from your spot. Back facing the cieling as the taste of blood went down your chin, Your chest going up and down begging you to just rest and breath.
“I won’t….I won’t tell you anything….” You choked out through blood.
His foot came in contact with your back slamming it harder than a cannonball. You grunted. He repeated the action over and over again. He probably was about 200-300 pounds heavier than you, so this man was basically crushing you.
You grunted as you held back a scream. Your body becoming numb to the pain. He stopped as you heard him panting out of breath.
“Tch. Don’t think it’s over yet.” He said as he picked you up. Slamming you on the chair beside him as he picked up some rope and tied you to it.
“So, are you read to talk yet?” He asked. He got angry at you as you didn’t respond to his question.
“The Straw Hats are weak! Who puts crewmates in front of them! Who would sacrifice their own life to just save theirs!!” He screamed at you, you flinched at his words before you coughed and looked up at him.
“…They would.” You said. His eyes widened at you before walking over to a table behind him, You hanged your head down again. Your body aching. Screaming and moaning at you. Telling you that you needed to just stop whatever you were doing because they couldn’t handle this anymore. You wanted to listen, but refused to tell this man anything about your friends.
“You know Y/N….You have very beautiful eyes…What will happen if I just ripped them off, Will you scream at me to stop and tell me, or would your loyalty refrain you…. I’m curious really.” He said as he scraped a sharp metal against the walls. You painted but didn’t say anything. You heard as his slow footsteps came over to you until he was in front of you.
His hand quickly went to your face, You hissed in pain as He squished your cheeks together. He softly ran the cold object down your cheek and neck until it reached your collarbone.
“…….I won’t tell you anything….” You spat out.
“Then your completely useless to me, I don’t care if I have to go find another friend of yours and torture them the same way I did to you…I gotta admit I’m impressed by your loyalty, I reminds me of when I was young, but they’ll betray you like they did with me, They’ll make you trust them, Giving you warmth and a family you’ve never had, and then they’ll stab you in the back…..I’ll kill Strawhat Luffy and his entire crew, You going first.” He said smiling.
There was a few moments of silence, and even though your face aches a small smirk crept on your face, you started to chuckle which then turned into a loud laugh. Like you found this the most hilarious thing in the world, and you couldn’t stop not even when it felt like someone was stabbing a knife into your cheek because of how much you were laughing or how your throat was just making you wheeze.
“What the hell is so funny to you!?” He yelled.
Your laughter slowly died down, as you slowly turned to look up at him, His facial expression had a confused and suprised look. You smirked even wider.
“I don’t think you know who my crew is. Well I’m sure you’ll meet them sooner or later…but are you suprised? Did you expect me to beg? Scream? Cry? Well I’m not….I’m not going to beg my life for someone like you! A low graded pirate! You can insult me all you like but don’t even say a single word about them! My crew is going to be the strongest in this whole entire world! And don’t even say say you’ll kill Luffy! Don’t you know who he is? Luffy…Is the next Pirate King!” You screamed it at him. He looked at you shocked.
“You can drown me! Kick me! Punch me! Stab me! But I won’t tell you anything! So go on ahead and kill me right here and now! But don’t think for a single second that I’m scared of someone like you!” You yelled. His face slowly turned to anger as he raised the small metal knife.
“You piece of…” He bought the knife down as you kept your stare on him.
Zoro…Nami…Usopp…Sanji…Chopper…Robin..Franky…Brook…Luffy….I think this is the end for me…I wanted to spend more time with all of you…I wanted to see all your dreams come true, so I’m sorry to say I probably won’t be there…but I hope you can all move forward…Everybody…Please…Live!
And suddenly your whole world went black.
“Oi, You mind moving?” You asked the male in front of you.
“Eh?” He turned to look at you giving you a clear view of his face. A scar under his left eye was the first thing you saw. A confident smile and a strawhate that made you had to back away so it wouldn’t hit you.
“Sorry!” He said as he took a few steps behind as you went over and picked the piece of metal, inspecting it. You left a strong stare in your back as you looked to see he was still looking at you.
“Uh. Can I help you?” You asked. He didn’t respond as he kept looking at you.
“I don’t think your from here. What’s someone like you doing in a junkyard like this?” You asked.
“I’m looking for my crewmates, but I think I lost them.” He said looking around almost reminding you of a child.
“Crewmates? Are you a pirate?” You asked picking up another piece of metal.
“Well Mr.Pirate. The exit is that way, you can keep going straight and you’ll probably get to town, a tip from me don’t stop if a merchant is trying to sell you something, trust me.” You added. You thought that would have been the end of the conversation but since you didn’t hear any footsteps retreating you looked to see he was staring at you hand.
“Hey, Your kinda freaking me out when you don’t say anything.”
“What are you doing?” He asked, you were taken back as you looked back to you hand to see the piece of metal in your hand.
“I’m collecting old ship parts for an engine i’m building.” You said proudly. “Not to brag or anything but I’m the best shipwright in town.” You said hands on hips proudly smiling.
“Yup! Look at some of these designs!” You took a piece of blue paper from your back pocket unfolding it and then handing it over to him. He took it as he stared at it.
“Amazing isn’t it! My grandpa has been teaching me since I was 5! I’ve repaired ships for pirates and even old abondned ones! Not only that but I’ve got ship designs that I’ve been dying to make! I’m actually in the process of one right now! It’s gonna be my biggest masterpiece!” Stars in your eyes as you poured your heart out to the stranger in front of you. You looked to see him tilting his head as he looked at you.
“S-Sorry, Did I bore you, I tend to do that a lot.” You said now embarrassed rubbing your neck, suddenly he grinned as he put the paper in half.
“H-Hey! Careful with that!” You said.
“I want you in my crew!” He grinned confidently. His request sounded more like a demand to be honest, You stared at him shocked.
“E-Eh!? As if! I’m not joining some pirate crew! I don’t even know who you are!”
“I’m Luffy. Monkey D Luffy!” He said proudly.
“Luffy? I felt like I’ve heard that somewhere before.” You said his name echoing in your head as you placed a finger to your chin.
“No.” You said walking around him.
“C’mon! It’ll be fun! Your looking at the future pirate king!”
“My crews really cool. We have a swordsman! His name is Zoro, He’s pretty good with the sword! And we have a navigator! Nami! And a shooter his name is Usopp!”
“We have this cool ship! Her name is the Going Merry!”
“….Listen! You don’t even know who I am! So why don’t you and your crew go find someone else to bother!” You yelled at him, He blinked before smiling.
“It’s Y/N…Wait no forget that!”
“Don’t call me Y/N! And I’m not joining your crew!”
“C’mon, If your im my crew then I won’t ever need to worry about Merry, Because I have someone like you!
“You haven’t even see me! How do you know if I’m even good.”
“I don’t!” You were taken aback before smirking.
“Luffy, I’m not going to join your crew.” He ignored your comment as thought it went one ear and out the other.
“If you join my crew! Then this whole world won’t stand a chance!l
